• Diamond drilling has commenced as part of a 40,000-metre multi-rig program
• Program designed to expand the existing 989koz gold resource and test high-priority regional targets
• Strategic partner Montage Gold Corp. leading the exploration efforts

African Gold Ltd (ASX: A1G) has announced the commencement of a major 40,000-metre drilling campaign at the Didievi Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. This significant exploration initiative is being spearheaded by African Gold's strategic partner, Montage Gold Corp. (TSX: MAU), with Montage's technical team now on site leading the execution of the expanded program. The drilling program is designed to expand the existing 989,000-ounce gold Inferred Resource at an average grade of 2.5g/t Au, as well as systematically test both known and previously untested high-priority regional targets on the Didievi tenement. Alongside the primary resource zone at Didievi, the project area has several additional prospects, including the Pranoi prospect where drilling has confirmed over 600 metres of continuous mineralisation along a potential 1.5 km strike length, and the Poku trend where only a limited portion of the 9 km-long soil anomaly has been tested with drilling, yet has already yielded significant mineralisation. The strategic location of the Didievi project, within trucking distance of approximately 8 Mt of existing processing capacity, presents a clear pathway to accelerated production and multiple development scenarios. The drilling campaign is expected to continue throughout 2025 and into 2026, with regular updates to be provided.

The goal of this 40,000-metre drilling campaign is to significantly expand the existing 989,000-ounce gold resource at Didievi while also unlocking the broader potential of the project area through systematic testing of high-priority regional targets.
